Suzon de Terson was born in 1657 in Puylaurens (currently part of the Tarn department) in a rich Protestant family and soon became passionate about poetic art.
By her worldly poems she drew the attention of Paul Pellisson and the circles of the Academy of Castres [fr], then became "Dame Rivals" by her marriage with pastor Elie Rivals.[1] In 1685, she died prematurely, following a long illness reflected in her poetry. Her writings were not published until 1968, by Christian Anatole.[1][2]
She is the author of 81 poems including 15 written in the Occitan language.[3]
